He doesn’t do relationships. Neither does she. But they can’t fight the attraction any longer…
Nash Walker hides the demons that consume his soul. He buries them deep and distracts himself with sex. Anything to avoid facing a past full of heartbreak and regret; anything to numb the pain that he struggles with daily.
Velvet Carr has spent years fighting her demons. It’s a fight she’s winning. That is, until Nash crashes his way into her life and into her heart.
It started out as a bit of harmless fun between friends; it wasn’t meant to get complicated for either of them. But when two broken souls come together and arouse unwanted feelings in each other, complicated is what happens.
Can Nash and Velvet help heal each other and revive the love in their lives that they’ve both been refusing to allow in for years? Or will they let their demons ruin any chance they may have at happiness?
5 Sweet Thing Stars!
ARC received from the author for an honest review
“Men. Sometimes you could kiss them forever and other times you could just take your glittery, red stilettos and jam them as far up their asses as they’d reach.”
Nina Levine’s books seem to be getting better and better with each new release! Characters and stories develop really well and will hook you right from the start and leave you happy sighing and excited for more. So far, Nash and Velvet’s book is my favorite in the Storm series. It has sweet, it has angst, it has super hot steam, and it has drama.
Friends-turned-lovers (and enemies-turned-lovers) always gets to me. There’s something so real life about developing deeper feelings for your friend after all the years you’ve spent being each other’s shoulder to lean on. Velvet and Nash has that palpable attraction for each other but knowing Nash is such a huge charmer and Velvet having past self-worth issues, they tried to keep their hands off each other to save their friendship from self-destructing.
One night with a drunk Velvet with no more inhibitions about their physical attraction to each other and their friendship, she and Nash finally gave in. Nash was pretty adorable trying to be the sober party but of course, he’s had the hots for Velvet for years so did I think he’ll stop? No. And it’s a relief that the morning after was not about a freaked out Velvet. Sometimes all the “what did I just do last night oh my god I can’t show my face to him and this will be awkward” mental pep talk gets old. Nash freaking out though, I sort of expected that but was still hoping he at least stayed the night. But like most playboy, badass males, Nash struggled with the emotions he’s been having for Velvet.
After the hot sex and the almost fall-out that happened between them, the turn their friendship took was easy. They now know what they want and they’re going for it. No back and forth, no pushing and pulling. I more than like this about these two crazy, funny people. For someone who’s been bullied and sucker punched with harsh words, Velvet is now a fierce woman who stands up for herself and speaks her mind and I like that about her! She’s the perfect woman for someone as womanizing and who keeps everything not sex related to himself like Nash. They bring out the best in each other and it’s obvious with how they act and speak when they’re together especially in the company of their closest friends.
I also loved seeing them with their own families. I enjoyed all the sexy and funny banters not just between them both but also with their families and friends. Nina Levine managed to include a lot of different aspects into this book; each of their past dramas, their families, Storm-related problems, their love story, but it didn’t drag on or felt like it was too much. It all blended perfectly well.
Stars: 5 stars!
Recommended to: Biker bad ass lovers with strong female lead.
POV: First person. Dual POV.

Cliffhanger: No. But story continues on with the next characters.
Extra Comment: I’m curious what will happen to the club after all the things that happened in this book. Looks like it’s going to be action-packed!
